This review is from: Piano (Learn To Play) (Hardcover)

I am using this book to teach myself how to play my keyboard, and it is immensely helpful! The aspect I have found most helpful are the sections which detail (in words AND illustrations) how to learn fingering and how to play chords. The staffs included in the lessons have helped me to relearn reading music again. I am very pleased with this book and feel it is well worth it for aspiring piano or keyboard!
